Tompai Ferenc
In his early childhood, he wanted to become a veterinarian, but during his high school years, he increasingly realized that he wanted to be a doctor. He has been drawn to manual work since childhood.
'Anything I could get my hands on, I would take apart and put back together from a very young age.'
He completed his medical studies at the University of Szeged, Faculty of General Medicine. During his university studies, he spent 5 months as a scholarship student at the University of Göttingen Medical School in Germany. He passed his specialization exam in orthopedics and traumatology with excellent results.
'I worked for nearly 7 years at the National Institute of Traumatology, and I also participated in teaching Hungarian and English medical students at the Department of Traumatology at Semmelweis University. Since 2020, I have been working as an orthopedic and trauma surgeon at the Orthopedic Surgical Department of the National Institute of Musculoskeletal Diseases.'
He performs more than 100 joint replacement surgeries (hip, knee, shoulder) each year. In addition, he mainly conducts knee and shoulder arthroscopic (joint reflection) procedures.
'My areas of professional interest include, beyond various musculoskeletal diseases, the treatment of specific shoulder and knee joint diseases and injuries. I had the opportunity to study the former alongside one of Hungary's most renowned shoulder surgeons.'
Due to his love for trauma surgery (traumatology), he leads trauma duty several times a month.
